Discover the best Te Puia has to offer.
Our Te Rā guided experience features a 90-minute walk through our geothermal valley, where you’ll visit the Pōhutu Geyser, the Kiwi Conservation Centre, and the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute.
Along the way, our knowledgeable guides will share their Māori traditions, heritage, and ancestral stories, offering unique insights into our rich culture.
Experience a captivating cultural performance in our beautifully carved meeting house, Te Aronui a Rua. It will include a pōhiri (ceremonial Māori welcome), waiata (song), mōteatea (traditional chant), poi and haka.
Enjoy lunch at Te Puia with delicious kai set against a backdrop of geysers and stunning valley views at Pātaka Kai Restaurant.
The menu blends Māori flavours with global cuisines – from our popular corn and watercress soup with fresh homemade bread, to a crisp salad buffet, fresh kai moana, and hāngī meats cooked traditionally.
